    Foaming Oak Tree

    I came across this foam substance on 2 Oak trees this morning, whilst walking in local woods. It was raining quite heavily and the water was running down the trunks, but was quite bubbly, and resulting in clumps of what looked like soap suds. I couldn't detect any odour at all. I do have...

    If I had a hammer.....

    It's not really that bushcrafty, but can anyone give me any advice on a good geologist's hammer? After finding a fossil in a piece of slate, whilst in the Wye valley recently, I think I could while away a few hours gently tapping. I've always been interested, but never found anything before...
